Chapter 1347: Chapter 1345: The Sword Hanging Over Our Heads
Madam Wang learned that Wu Lihong had left the residence. She wanted to send someone to follow him, but then reconsidered and abandoned the idea.
Wu Guanyu woke up and caused quite a commotion. Madam Wang coaxed him patiently, got someone to give him medicine, and finally managed to put him back to sleep. She was drenched with sweat.
Remembering her beloved sonâs fear and screams, Madam Wangâs heart felt as if it was being sawed apart with a blunt knife, and the bloodied pain was unbearable.
That vicious wretch, how could she have the heart to do it!
Madam Wang recalled the scene and couldnât help but shudder, feeling disgusted and bitter-tasting in her mouth.
"Nanny Wei, Nanny Wei." She called out loudly.
Nanny Wei came running in from outside and curtsied: "Madam, you called for me."
"Get someone to bring me two slices of ginger to soothe my stomach, itâs so nauseous," Madam Wang instructed.
Nanny Wei acknowledged, went outside to instruct a little maid, and then returned indoors to attend to her.
Madam Wang suddenly thought of Wufuâs threat, and her heart jolted again, gripping the chair armrest, she called out: "Wet nurse."
"Yes, Madam."
Madam Wang gave her a glance towards the door, and Nanny Wei said: "Everyoneâs busy, no oneâs available."
Madam Wang then glared at her and lowered her voice, asking: "Back when Lu Xiaodie, did the person you found really handle it?"
Nanny Wei paused, replying: "Well, Madam, the other party has already received Silver to get it done!"
"Foolish! Didnât they just take the Silver and fool around? Didnât you confirm again?" Madam Wang gritted her teeth: "Back at Changqing Residence, do you know what that girl said to me?"
Nanny Wei felt a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, she heard Madam Wang say: "She said she saved a person named Lu Xiaodie."
Nanny Wei gasped, covering her mouth, eyes wide with fright.
"From the way she spoke, it seemed she knew the secret of the Thousand-Weave Embroidery. Tell me, how could it be such a coincidence?" Madam Wang said solemnly: "If she didnât mention it, I wouldnât have refrained from reporting to the authorities today!"
"Madam, are you saying the other party knows about the Thousand-Weave Embroidery matter?" Nanny Wei asked, heart pounding.
"Better safe than sorry. Thatâs why Iâm asking if that person handled it or not!" Madam Wang replied coolly.
Nanny Wei was somewhat alarmed, uncertain how to respond, she stammered: "Madam, even if she knows Lu Xiaodie, that girl wouldnât know anything, or why else would she only come to the store to throw a tantrum?"
Madam Wang, restless in her heart, said: "I fear thereâs something we overlooked. But regardless, this is a threat. I donât care what method you use, find those two people for me, and ask them about Lu Xiaodieâs whereabouts. Then have someone bring Lu Xiaodie out."
Nanny Wei felt a touch of bitterness, saying: "Madam, itâs been so long since this happened, not sure if we can find anything, in such an immense sea of people..."
"So youâre not looking then?" Madam Wang shouted sharply, whispering: "As long as Lu Xiaodie is around, and still in that bastardâs hands, for us, itâs a sword hanging over our heads, ready to drop at any moment. Are you looking to die?"
Nanny Wei opened her mouth, feeling even more bitter.
"Just from todayâs incident, that bastard and us are irreconcilable. Nanny Wei, you donât want to miss your grandsonâs wedding, or the good days of holding your great-grandson, do you?" Madam Wang glanced at her askew, saying: "You and I share in the glory and loss together."
Nanny Weiâs heart hopped, she lowered her head saying: "Madam, the old servant will arrange people to search."
